Dear Mark Fritzler,

On behalf of the Community of Willow, WACO would like to thank you for the support you have provided our CERT Chapter. Free storage since October, 2006 to date has really helped to protect our budget, yet allowed us to be ready for our award winning team to be ready to jump into action. As an all volunteer 501C4 organization we are limited in our abilities to earn. So such significant donations as yours make a huge difference. As you know we were grant funded by the Alaska legislature this past year to build a cold storage shed on Community Center premises in support of emergency response for the entire upper valley. We expect the building to be started and completed by this fall. The groups who will have storage are WACO, CERT, Red Cross, and the Willow Dog Mushers Association (WDMA, who have developed an extensive animal evacuation plan for Willow residents with animals). You have provided part of the base by donating storage that supported the evolution of our community to be able to respond to emergencies quickly and efficiently. Thank you.

(Signed Linda Oxley)
